Reviews of shows at London theatres

Excellent energy and showmanship from all.

A sometimes fun, but not especially funny musical description of a daring war-time op that bamboozled the Nazis - sports an able and talented cast but runs out of steam.

Positives and negatives surface in near equal proportions in a sometimes irritating construct, though the capabilities of the entire company show huge promise.

A feast of clever and interesting ideas in 9 short plays from East Anglia's INK Festival, covering a range of situations and emotions, delivered with aplomb by a top-notch cast.

Melvyn Bragg and Howard Goodall's 1984 musical gets a strong and vital revival in a production featuring a strikingly talented cast of actor-musicians.
